Yes, but melee classes got pounce for free, and no to-hit penalty in their itterative attacks (plus 1 attack extra every 2 rounds if they were specialists).That's a bit misleading. I mean it's true, but you got a lot less iterative attacks than in 3.0. Rangers and paladins topped out at 2 at 13th level and didn't get 3 every 2 rounds until 7th. As you said, Specialist Fighters got an extra half an attack.
In 1E, no specialization, so at most 2 attacks. Not quite the same as 3.x iterative attacks, even if you can use them every round.
It's not really true, though. In pre-3e days, a chsracter more than 10 feet out from his opponent had to close first and could get an attack, not multiple attacks, not an attack routine. If he had already closed, his attacks were unrestricted in that manner.
